Abstract: |
A trial trench based archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on land adjacent to 17 Orwell Road, Barrington, Cambridgeshire (TL 387 496). The proposed development area (PDA) comprises a 0.07 ha plot to the west of Orwell Road. Three trenches, positioned according to the proposed locations of a house and garage, revealed a total of four archaeological features; two ditches and two pits. Pottery recovered from two of these features suggests activity dating to the 14th-15th century. The archaeological features, though few in number, provide a useful insight into medieval Barrington and are an important addition to the local archaeological record. The limited finds assemblage suggests the site is not associated with domestic activity and it seems likely that it was located on the periphery of the medieval settlement. |
